“We encourage students and other members of our campus community to continue to find ways to educate one another on diversity, equity, and inclusion issues; however, the University is not the appropriate venue or authority to resolve differences of religious or political opinion among private individuals. Ultimately, we only have control over our own reactions, thoughts, feelings, and responses. You, as an individual, have the right to respond or ignore opposing views, including those presented on social media by a student.”

Perfect response. If this were put into practice by everyone, cancel culture would cease to exist. Then again, that would require personal responsibility, which doesn't exist among most of the cancel culture demographic.

Perfect response.

Indeed. And a genuine apology from the SGA president.

quote:
“I am deeply sorry that my Instagram story offended members of our community,” Statom said. “I now see the story from a different perspective and apologize. My role as SGA President is to honorably represent all UNA students, and I fell short of this ideal. I thank all of the students who have reached out to provide me feedback. You have shown me I have much work to do, and I ask for your forgiveness and grace as I strive to be a better leader and servant to students.

Handled well from all sides. Let's move on.

Well, maybe not all sides. Should have read the whole article.

quote:
According to WAFF, members of the SGA have signaled that they intend to bring impeachment proceedings against Statom if he does not resign by the end of the month.

This is dumb if they go through with it.
